I have still been trying to limit the amount I eat and have been looking for vegetarian recipes. When I saw the recipe for these Chili Burgers on A Year in the Kitchen I just knew I had to try them. These were great and Adam loved them too. They had a hearty flavor and tasted very burger like. I wouldn’t replace my regular burger with these, but they were great for a healthy, tasty alternative. I served these with baked home fries.

These might have to be the next “burgers” I try.
I’m glad you guys liked them! I have these printed off and on the menu for next week since I saw them on Ashlee’s site, also. Glad that they are man approved!
as a vegetarian, i think they sound interesting; but they’re not vegetarian that is unless you use vegetarian worchestshire sauce since the regular stuff has anchovies in it. but, i definitely would try it sans the sauce since it sounds interesting. btw, love your blog.
Looking forward to trying these!!!
The veggie burgers look great, can’t wait to try them since we never eat meat!
These sound great and will be a perfect meal to feed my dieting husband!
